   That is the one, you will have to check your actual axle when removing the original bearings to see how much damage has actually been caused.
   
   Depending how long they have been worn for, they could well have caused damage to the axle. Which would mean replacing or refurbishing.

   theres threads on this weekly
   
   depending how bad you may be looking big money to repair the beam
   some work out more cost effective to replace

   if the bearings are shot, then more likely than not the axle will be.

   yeah guys i know about the stub pin wearing out, might get lucky though. even if it comes to replacing the beam ill fit new bearings so i guess ill get them anyway, and just see how "gone" the pin is when i do the bearings.
